Bob - I assume that your prop is damaged to the point where you feel you
need to replace it. Don't be too sure of that - I had my prop reconditioned
at the prop shop in Mayo at the yard there. (Don't remember the name of the
yard.) Cost about $50 and it was perfect.
I also had the diameter reduced to 12" from 13" and I got 1 full knot of
speed on the boat at 1400 rpm. You might want to try that if the edges of
your prop are badly damaged. By the way - the original prop on #76 was 7 X
13.
